That was... reflective.

This was deep... I have found a new appreciation for Soarin' now!

Good stuff man!

But knowing how moms are supposed to be caring and affectionate, as well as knowing my own mother's draconian way of disciplining me, I became so desensitized to all of that motherly love that it practically meant nothing to me anymore - it was just something that a parent naturally did, not unlike the basic functions of a machine.

I can totally relate to this... A lot of that story reflected my own childhood.

Constructive criticism:

I still feel tethered to my childhood and my inner child, always torn between living out the childhood
...
I had to let go of my attachment to the childhood I never had. I had to stop living in the past and accept that all childhoods come to an end, all children outgrow their cribs,

I think you're repeating the word 'Child' just a little too much. But still, excellent!

Can't wait for whatever you've got next.

P.S. Do you make your own story covers? They're always great!

1786476 Thanks! This is based off of my headcanon for Soarin': a sensitive yet happy-go-lucky stallion with a rough past, some mother issues and a love of pie.
